Award Winning Nursery
In August 2020 we very proudly achieved the GOLD Healthy Early Years Award (the FIRST Southampton Nursery and Pre-School to achieve this). We have 6 other Bronze and Silver Healthy Early Years Awards for Healthy Eating, Physical Activity, Healthy Mouth and the new Mental Health & Well-Being award.
Run, Hop, Jump
At St James we actively promote physical activity. We start each day with a ‘wake and shake’, where all of our children have fun and challenge as they develop their skills and coordination. The children are then ready for learning, as they are alert, attentive and motivated. Throughout the day, children will dance, run, hop, jump, walk, climb and balance. We have free-flow in to our secure and supervised garden areas.
We actively promote healthy eating and are lucky to have a highly experienced and qualified cook, Geeta, who prepares freshly-made, healthy, balanced meals for our children.
Healthy snacks are also provided for our children in the morning and the afternoon, along with milk and water. The children then brush their teeth following their lunch. We can help you with loal NHS dentist information.
We can provide allergen information upon request.
